There are two primary categories of Nitinol.
The first, known as “SuperElastic”, is characterized by extraordinary recoverable strains and kink resistance.
The second category, “Shape Memory” alloys, is valued for the Nitinol’s capacity to recover a pre-set shape
when heated above its transformation temprature. The first category is often used for orthodontics (braces, wires, etc)
and eyeglasses. SZNK makes shape memory alloys, which are primarily useful for actuators,
used in many different mechanical devices.
